My extremely talented friend, Sarahfae, is the creator and cook behind the blog “Addicted to Veggies.” Over a year ago I requested that she make a recipe with coconut. She did and it was amazing. Unfortunately I have been the biggest jerk ever and did not make her a thank you gift until this challenge gave me the push to do so.

I chose a fabric with flamingos because I know how much she loves them. The pattern was very straightforward to sew…. but that may be because I make things up as I go along. Basically, I used the pattern pieces and not the directions :) The black strip along the top of the fabric is sewn in one continuous piece instead of three separate pieces like the pattern suggested. I applied it the same way I would apply binding to a quilt. It’s hard to see in the pictures, but the black fabric along the bottom and sides is gathered.

This is my go to pattern for aprons. It’s quick, cute, and functional!

About the Sew Weekly

The Sew Weekly began as Mena Trott's attempt to document the process of sewing all of her own clothes in 2010. In 2011, four other contributors (Debi Fry, Adey Lim, Veronica Darling & Sarah Gabbart) joined her and for 52 weeks, they sewed based on a particular weekly theme. In 2012, The Sew Weekly became a much larger group blog with over 130 contributors sewing along each week.
